People don't realize how risky housing is compared to other investments. It is risky because it is SO MUCH MONEY and it is not diversified at all. If your house loses half its value, that represents hundreds of thousands in losses. And don't think that can't happen. You buy a penny stock for $2K and lose half, no big deal compared to your house.
BUT, we need housing, we need a stable school for our kids, or a comfortable place for our partner, etc. So we have to take this risk.
An issue usually doesn’t have the code for implementation of the solution. Yes, very often patches are attached in comments, but they are not required and usually attached by other people, not the author.
Me and Adobe right there.

They want me to pay a subscription, but as long as Windows will still open CS6, I'll keep using it. It still gets the job done for me, even though I wouldn't mind some of the newer features (some of my annoyances I know they've improved in the new version) and probably would have paid for an upgrade by now if it wasn't all subscription models now.

And hopefully by the time it stops working, another non-subscription option for Illustrator that I don't hate will be available.
Might very well be in panic mode. They're also partnering with Indeed to bring back a new version of StackOverflow Jobs.

This is obviously a source with a considerable bias, but they link to many concerning examples of Al Jazeera reporting. I personally don’t speak Arabic but anecdotally I’ve heard that the translations are accurate, the bias is manifest in choosing what to translate. This example was especially concerning, exacerbating civilian deaths:

> Al-Jazeera Fabricates Information Designed To Thwart Israel's Instructions To The Gaza Population

>Al-Jazeera broadcast footage of bodies of civilians strewn over a road, presenting them as victims of an Israeli attack against people who had abided by the IDF instructions to evacuate to southern Gaza.[91] Israel in fact had secured safe passage to the south for those civilians who wished to go there, while Hamas exerted pressure on them to remain put in order to use civilians as human shields.[92]
You mean windows? Estimates show they kill roughly the same number of birds as cats.

Interesting they chose to use this example of Japanese companies not having debt, when the country of Japan has the highest debt to GDP of any developed nation[1] which has contributed to its economic stagnation since the 1990s

Unless you live in a no-recourse state, where they can't take everything else.

In AZ, CA, TX, WA, and a handful of other states, banks can't go after your other assets, just the house that's mortgaged.
>> You simply restructured your debt and borrowed from parents instead, no?

>> That is to say, you owe them for those ten years.

To me that seems like a strange take on it. I saw no indication of a debt owed in the GPs comment.
He doesn't really consume the money he gathered. So the fact that he owns so much just puts a slight deflationary pressure on the economy, nothing more. Of course he could use the money to buy goods and services taking them away from poor people, or purchase political power to achieve harmful goals but as long as he doesn't do that too much his hoarding is no issue. It's not like government can't just print more money and give it to the poor if it wants to.

Besieds his money doesn't sit it in the bank. He has it in short term tresury bonds. Which means he basically lent it all to the government. If this money is not used to help the poor then blame the government because it controlls Warren Buffett money until it gives it back to him.
China and their belt & road is the same idea you attribute to the US, but from an authoritarian gov't. The USSR did similar. In other words, it's not the form of gov't that does this, but rather the strongest players.

China is also pushing their hardware into everyone's backyards to collect intel. Again, not an artifact of the type of gov't.

What is the biggest threat to an autocracy or authoritarian? Political alternatives
Agreed. I would also add that something can simultaneously provide health benefits in one area and costs in others. If the costs outweigh the benefits, quitting makes sense despite the benefits.
I did the same thing. After some bad downtime from Traefik introducing breaking changes in a point release, I decided to write my own.

My reverse proxy offered a service mesh, live config reloads, managed TLS certs, and automatically rerouted traffic around down services. The whole thing was a few hundred LOC anyone could understand in its entirety. It ran in production for years unchanged and never caused an outage.

No, no.. the semantics of words is not other words.

Cavemen wander around, they fall over a pig, they point to pig and say "pig". Other cavemen observe. Later, when they want a pig, they say "pig". No one here knows anything about pigs other than that there is something in the world which causes people to say "pig" and each caveman is able to locate that thing after awhile.

The vast majority of language is nothing more than this: words point outside themselves to the world, this pointing is grown in us through acquaintance with the world.

Now, in general, the cause of my saying "pig" is not me falling over one. Suppose I say, to a friend, "I've always thought pigs were cute, until i saw a big one!"

So here, "I" points at both me as a body, but also plausibly at my model of myself (etc.), "always" modifies "thought" ... so "I've always thought" ends up being a statement about how my own models of my self over time have changed.. and so on for "pigs" and the like.

We do not know that this is what our words mean. We have no idea that what we're referring to when I say "I've always thought" -- the nature of the world that our words refers to requires, in general, science to explain. Words are, at first, just a familiar way of throwing darts at a target which we can see, but not describe nor explain.

It is this process which is entirely absent in an LLM. An LLM isnt throwing a dart at anything, it isnt even speaking. It's replaying historical darts matches between people.

And this is just to consider reference. There are other causes of our using words much more complex than our trying to refer to things, likewise, these are absent from the LLM.

Great idea to avoid the viral varietals as they tend to be more difficult to keep alive since everyone tries to produce them. Also very nice to shop at local stores to avoid the tik tok midnight variegated monstera nonsense!

Some of them, like clivia, have a non-trivial lottery component to their hybridization and breeding that makes buying and crossing even a couple of relatively er, garden variety examples a potential ticket to fame, fortune and startdom in the clivia-verse.
The author of the article, Morgan Housel, is also the author of the book The Psychology of Money. This thoughts on, e.g., paying down his mortgage:

> It just increased our independence, even if it made no sense on paper. So that's another element of debt that I think goes misunderstood. And a lot of that for both of those points is this idea that people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They don't make them in Excel. They make financial decisions at the dinner table. That's where they're talking about their goals and their own different personalities and their own unique fears and their own unique skills and whatnot. So that's why I kind of push people to say like, it's okay to make financial decisions that don't make any sense on paper if they work for you, if they check the boxes of your psychology and your goals that makes sense for you. And for me, extreme aversion, what looks like an irrational aversion today, and I would say is an irrational aversion to debt, is what works for me and what makes me happy, so that's why I've done it.

> This is exactly one of the Russian talking points.

Calling something a "Russian talking point" does not make it less true. Russia would not have invaded if (combination of factors): Ukraine did not have ethnic Russians that were being oppressed (see the Odessa union house massacre), Ukraine did not want to go NATO, Ukraine was not a safe haven of anti-Russia fascists (see the enormous statue for Bandera in Lvov -- bizarre how that's allowed in an "EU ally"). Minks agreements were "just to give Ukraine time to build military" said Merkel (a guarantor of the agreement). Russia was cheated by the west, and behaves accordingly, if you ask me.

> who warns that Germany again is likely to try to invade Europe

Lol. Where did he say that?
This article strikes me as a deliberately over-the-top response to rampant 2000s/2010s narcissism. I wouldn't take anything it says as 100% true.
Exactly how you think the US can support ISIS (oil sales via Turkey? Used plumbing trucks to JAS/JAN which aren’t ISIS?) when Lloyd Austin blew hundreds of millions to arm like 10-100 people is beyond me.
> It gave examples for every other cell of the matrix besides (exponential time to solve, exponential time to verify), which it left as blank or N/A.

I would be interested in seeing this matrix, because it sounds incomplete to me.

Any NP-complete problem, as in a problem that is exponential to solve but polynomial to verify, is a "decision problem" version of a "optimization problem" that is exponential to both solve and verify.

For example, the decision-problem version of the traveling salesman is, "given a graph of nodes and weighted edges, does there exist a route that visits all nodes with a total edge cost of less than N?" Solutions are hard to compute (evaluate many paths to find a good solution) but easy to verify (evaluate the given path exactly once and compare the cost to N).

Meanwhile, the optimization-problem version of the traveling salesman is "given a graph of nodes and weighted edges, what is the route that visits all edges with the least cost?" The solution is now both hard to compute and hard to verify, because to verify it you also need to consider the entire decision space to determine whether or not there's a route with a lesser cost.
Yikes. So after bundling their development tools with their operating system they are now also bundling some language's stdlib with the operating system? Gotta get them fingers in all of the pies, I guess.
You can argue all you want, but you shouldn't be able to force people to die for your arguments. And ukranian men don't want to die.

Instead of arguing, you come with the "paid troll" accusations and personal attacks.. come on.

It's one thing to argue about injustness (especially if you're from one of the coutries that is currently invading some other country, or recently has been, like syria or afghanistan.. like my country did), but you canot argue about ukranians having to die for whatever you consider to be right. If you support any kind of democracy, and if there is noone left who wants to volounteer and fight, the democractic opinion is already known (at least the opinion of those whose opinion should matter). If you believe that dying in this war is worth it, for whatever reason, you can replace a ukranian guy who doesn't believe that.
In Star Trek they had gravity plating, so that defined which way is down.

Needless to say, we have no idea yet how that would even be possible :) So, for now, the question is whether we can still do it without such a solution.
Debt to income or debt to asset is the only way of evaluating if someone's debt is high or low. I thought it was obvious that's what GP meant.
That's Hyrum's law for you.

Actually that's not even fair to Go. I'm as annoyed as anyone about the many suboptimal technical choices of the Go team, but I would say that Theo saying "I have altered the ABI. Pray I do not alter it further" is quite accurate.

Go in this case made a choice based on one "promise", and OpenBSD changed the deal.

Even Hyrum's law is more about "as implemented". Go actually went with "as designed, in the last, what, four decades?". Syscalls actually did use to be the API, and statically linked libc really did use to be "ok".

OpenBSD let security be done though the heavens fall, and that's fine. But it's MUCH easier than the alternative. So obviously much easier to make progress on.

Patriotism previously worked as a check on hyper individualism in the US, tying people to a shared sense of national community.

Now that we collectively know too much about the harms perpetrated by our government, we have also lost that sense of unity and shared values and purpose.

> Zionism is a movement to fulfill the right for Jewish self-determination in their native land

The thing is, though, it's not a right, it's their belief. They're very welcome to hold their beliefs and take democratic means to achieve their aims, but in a free and peace centred society they should not be allowed to take violent means to pursue their aims. Certainly if they want me to be happy taking financial and material support from a government that I'm supporting with my tax then they need to follow these basic ideals of respect for the other.

Long story short, we can accept their belief in their promised land without accepting it as their right to take it by whatever means necessary.

You are correct. Your traffic is routed peer to peer (There are relay nodes available in case your devices fail to find each other. You can disable these in the config if you wish to do so.).
All tailscale provides is an api to let your nodes find each other. However, the concern of the community is that tailscale generates an knows all your wg keys. In theory they could look at your traffic. Personally, I use tailscale happily.

I agree with all the points here but I would argue that even Apple experiences have degraded over time. Specially the in store purchase experience degraded miserably. I used to be able to walk into a store and be guided to purchase what I was looking for. Now unless you have a time slot all you can do is schedule one.
I would appreciate if stackoverflow integrated something like a REPL or replit in their Q&A to reproduce example easily (maybe even CI?). For Python it would actually be very easy with backends such as Google Colab or even built-in ChatGPT Code Interpreter.
For indoor plants, depending on where you live you may have near-zero native plants commonly sold. Native plants tend to make more sense for outdoors, as the indoor climate as closer to tropical-always rather then your real weather.
They didn't; there was tons of criticism about that, including on the beeb and CNN and everywhere else. You're confusing debate with propaganda. There were enormous protests against the Iraq war in London and other places. Try that in Russia. Never mind Serbia was busy with its own ethnic cleansing campaigns and maybe taking some action about that wasn't entirely a bad thing...

Apple started in a garage, but it is no longer run out of one. Apple started with loans and investors, Apple now has a large pile of cash (though also bonds that it needs to pay).
And the ones responsible are the same. Much of the obesity crisis is caused by tobacco companies investing in food and employing the same advertisement and lobbying tactics as before [1].

This is very true, but there is also an issue of which Irish orthography to use, right? Place names are very conservative, but modern speakers would be more used to O'Donnell's dictionary's variants than to ones from Dinneen, basically. Paradoxically, English forms sometimes give hints as to the correct pronunciation.
fwiw I thought this comment was the snarky one, not GP. Given that this snarky comment also tried to call out GP for snark and refer to the HN guidelines against snark, it also became highly ironic. I would guess that's why you've been downvoted.
The translations in anime at least are unlikely to actually be worse, since a lot of the English anime translation industry are obsessed with inserting woke politics and cringey zoomer jokes into their translations and more or less hate the people who buy their products. There's a reason a lot of people are laughing at the activist translators losing their jobs to AI.

In areas where the translators are actual, responsible professionals, the quality will suffer.
I once read a quote similar to this:

"The able and the disabled aren't two different kinds of people but the same people at different times."

And it was highlighting the idea that basically we are all gonna degrade at some point.

That stuck with me and changed my view on how I should think about the people that might want to engage with things I make.

Maybe seeing that quote will have the same impact on you. Maybe it won't.
The author does a really good job of describing the tension between the customer’s readiness and the vendor’s need to move leads through the pipeline as fast as possible:

> What I was really asking potential customers to do was wait.

> Wait until they're ready to start understanding the API.

> Wait until they're ready to go through onboarding.

> Wait until the PoC is planned.

> …

> What ends up happening is that people get busy and they end up seeing that 14 day deadline, determine that they're not ready yet, so they bounce until they are ready, but then they never come back.

> I decided that I needed to remove that friction. I wanted to capture these leads as soon as they decide Keygen may be the solution for them. So ultimately, I can start nurturing these leads.

As to France and other countries occupied by Nazis, capitulation meant a ride to death camp for some, slave labor to others, starvation and oppression for all. France was used as a staging ground for the Battle of Britain and for the aborted invasion of British Isles, and served as a base of operations for submarines attacking allied convoys in the Atlantic ocean. France didn't regain freedom until massive landings on Normandy beaches and fierce fighting through the country by soldiers who were mostly conscripts and not there on their own will, so I don't understand what it was meant to prove.
The core (flawed) assumption is that a thousand year business is desirable. As a business owner and a worker I don’t want to work in my great, great grand pappy’s toothpick company.
